Persian Oranges are a bitter/sour variety of orange that was the standard orange in Europe until the introduction of sweet oranges from India (I think by Marco Polo). Persian oranges are similar to blood oranges in colour but are sour, almost like a lemon but differing in flavour from a lemon only by the presence of a bitterness similar to that of a blood orange.

Why do Arabian and Persian cuisines traditionally prefer purple over yellow carrots?

Orange carrots are far more prevalent than any other kind of carrot. Often carrots are pickled in parts of the Middle East, but this does not change the color drastically. Most carrots are orange.
